Abstract

The climate-sensitive waters of the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP), including its many fjords, are hot spots of productivity that support multiple marine mammal species. Here, we profiled protistan molecular diversity in a WAP fjord known for high productivity and found distinct spatiotemporal patterns across protistan groups.
